Edouard Pignon. La Californie, Cannes 1961.

The artist Edouard Pignon is captured from behind, standing in the lush garden of the Villa La Californie in Cannes, 1961. Viewed from indoors through an open doorway, the scene shows Pignon on the lawn, looking towards the dense foliage. To his left, two pieces of modern art, one depicting a stylized bull, lean against a bench. In the foreground, the woven back of a wicker chair is visible, while above the trees in the distance, a construction crane can be seen against the sky.
